Resapol recently worked with longstanding customer Bondcote, supplying material for the first stage of repair work at the King James project; repairing two of the overhead rail archways and bridges. The repair was deemed essential as several sites on the project featured exposed rebar, which needed immediate protection to ensure the safety and longevity of the project.
Members of the Bondcote team attended training at a Resapol Training Academy; the session involved in depth presentations and hands on demonstrations of Sika Monotop®-4012. This was a key influence in their decision to trial the product for the first stage of repair work.
Sika Monotop®-4012 is a cementitious, fibre reinforced, low shrinkage repair mortar that notably contains recycled waste materials which reduces the carbon footprint, making it a more sustainable product option. It is also easy to apply by either hand or wet spray application and is perfect for overhead applications as it features very low shrinkage and does not require a bonding primer, making it the perfect material for this project.
Tom Brown, Resapol’s Regional Sales Manager for Concrete Repair, was on hand throughout the process in order to offer technical advice, as well as to arrange delivery of the materials direct to site. The repair work was completed September 2021 and deemed a complete success. Bondcote representatives were extremely impressed by the robust and effective nature of Sika Monotop®-4012, as well as the great service provided by Resapol. Pete Box the Project Manager at Bondcote had this to say:
“Thanks again to everyone at Resapol for all of your kind help with the project, the materials and training that you have supplied for us to carry out this first stage of work. As you can see from the photographs, these were huge structural repairs undertaken by Bondcote and the new material worked incredibly well!”
